## What it is
Markdoc is a Markdown-based authoring framework and toolchain created by Stripe, extending CommonMark with custom tags, annotations, and variables. It parses documents into an AST, transforms them into a renderable tree, and renders to HTML or React components for building documentation sites and interactive content experiences.

## Use cases
- build a custom documentation site with markdown
- render markdown with custom React components
- add conditionals and variables to markdown content
- validate markdown content in CI
- create interactive docs like Stripe's documentation
- convert markdown to HTML or React trees

## When to choose
- you need structured, interactive documentation beyond plain Markdown
- you want to embed React components in Markdown content
- you need programmatic validation and static analysis of content
- you want a declarative authoring format with full control over rendering

## When to avoid
- you just need simple Markdown-to-HTML conversion
- you want a batteries-included static site generator with zero setup
- your project doesn't use JavaScript or React

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: parser, templating, static-site-generator, documentation, markdown
- domain: documentation, web-development, frontend, developer-tools
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: markdown-framework, authoring, react-renderer, content-publishing, stripe, nodejs, web-server
